madaboutmoose's Journal, 31 December 2009

DRAT!! I had my journal entry going and then I hit a button and POOF!!! It disappeared!! Anyway ... Happy New Year to everyone!!

Today is the day I chose to mark my holiday goal of being no more than 185 at the beginning of the New Year. I weighed in today just barely below the blue line at 179.8 ... the same thing I weighed on Christmas Eve. AWESOME!!!

Working until noon and then we begin our New Years Eve get-away and back home tomorrow. It snowed overnight but not the 2 feet that Flaxseed got at her home ... maybe 3 inches or so. It is still snowing lightly but it is supposed to turn to rain in the valleys by tomorrow. Hopefully the roads will be okay today and tomorrow.

I'll leave my fatsecret goal the same for now. I am hoping eventually to get my range down to 170-180 but time will tell if that is realistic. For now I want to soak up and fully embrace the progress I have made. This is the longest ever in my life that I've maintained a reasonable weight. I know that I need to continue to do what I've been doing to be successful in the long haul. There is no "done" for me. At some point I will no longer be "losing" weight but the day-to-day process needs to remain much the same. I am looking forward to my one year FatSecret anniversary in a few weeks. Perhaps by then I will have some indication of whether or not I want to change my goal weight here. In the mean time I will just keep plugging along ... working on my self acceptance, kindness, and remaining conscious of what goes in my mouth.

My five for today ...

1. reaching my holiday goal
2. how clean and pretty everything looks with a layer of new snow
3. getting dressed up for New Year's Eve and feeling good about it!!
4. waking up early has meant more time for exercise in the morning
5. welcoming another year with the love of my life by my side

Have a safe and enjoyable New Year's Eve!!

Whoo Hooo! Looks like you have had quite a successful holiday season concerning your weight. That's a very hard thing to do, so you SHOULD be very proud of yourself. Happy New Year!

Ah, Moose, when I sit & read your journal & Dawn's I think of how different your environments are than mine. It's so strange. I get this odd longing for snow and a fireplace and intarsia knit wool sweaters, though I don't know a thing about living in snow. I think it's the incurable romantic in me...Happy New Year, congratulations on everything you've accomplished - I can only hope to have the kind of succes you've had. May you ring in 2010 in grand style! I shall be a total bore and probably fall asleep before I even have a chance to welcome the new year :)

Happy New Year Moose! May it be one filled with health, happiness and hugs! You should be so proud of all you have accomplished this past year. I am sure you will have many more successes in the coming year and that you feel as wonderful through out as you do now. :)

I forgot to tell you! I thought of you the other day when my husband and I walked through the powdery snow. So romantic! We do love our snow -- don't we Moose! Have a great day Kiddo!
